But before I do this, is there a specific folder that I need to copy into? Are there multiple folders that I have to do here. I spent some time over at the M4Today site, but the process described there was for the generic disc version of the game install. I did not find mention on what to do with a STEAM install.

Thanx

Stop. 4.09m? Usually, it would say 4.07m. However, I suppose Steam could be providing a patched up version of the game to 4.09m. Unless you already installed some patches to get it there? If you truly are at 4.09m, then you don't need to install the earlier patches. You can move on from there.

In general, you are correct about installing a patch, except for the part about manually placing them. So, like you said, you unzip it to a folder. Then you click on it. Then you should see a windows installer pop up. At some point it will ask you where to install it. There will be a text box. You need make sure it is pointing to the same folder as where il2fb.exe resides. there is usually a browse button you can click on to find the location you need. If you did what Alpha said up there somewhere, then that would be C:\IL2 1946. So, it is very simple process.
